thank You for answering. Let me rephrase my question and problem:


I have been running RH 5.2 for about 3 months now. 
Being careful and responsible net-phile, (however whose enthusiasm
shadows actual skills), I go thru my logfiles every day. However,
I have found that my logfiles grow unconfortably large, and therefore I
suspect logrotate-config is not set up properly. As stated, I have RH 5.2
CD installed with most options at default, and am really lost as how to make 
logs rotate and make it easier to follow my machines whereabouts.

I have studied "man logrotate " and not really find anything helpful-
except that maybe I need to retune all cronjobs.

I have crond running and /etc/cron stuff looks reasonable, so that's why
my interest is towards logrotate.conf and different options.

Now I need to find some sample logrotate- and cronjobs to understand what's
going on. 

Could someone help me out ??
